Hello, everybody!
With the advent of autumn, a number of riders walk participate in competitions in trail so-called cross-country. According to Larousse Encyclopedia of Sports (1961), running through the campaign has its origins in England. In the late 17th and early 18th century, it organises courses steeple or the hare and the hound from village to village. But since that time, the cross-country race is regulated and well-established in several countries.
Today, although this sport has its own rules, several racers practicing this activity at events in more participatory. In Quebec, believe the "Cross of Color" Vaudreuil-Dorion who presented on October 7 last its 24th race of this kind.
A first course of its kind in Quebec?
According to the newspaper, Le Devoir, on Oct. 18, 1934, the Track and Field Association in Montreal presents the first event of this kind. Several clubs like the MAAA, McGill, the YMCA And the Association of Police Athletic y delegate athletes. Participants must run five miles (eight kilometers) through various obstacles offered by nature, crossing paths barely plotted woods, streams, plowed land and hedges and finally ending at the chalet on municipal golf club .
Unfortunately, history does not say who is the winner of the event. However, one fact remains, the cross-country race is practised ages ago in Quebec.
